Just bought papago.. brought it for a test run, very fast satellite lock down! i tried it two times and both times it got signal almost instantly.. and manage to bring me to my destination smile.gif

only problem (and weakness) so far compare to my old n82 garmin gps is sometimes when you do turning the car fly out of the road >.< anyone else have this problem?
though i'm quite happy with this app in iphone now.. last time my bro don't even have any good gps application on the iphone, my garmin is god smile.gif

now if garmin enters iphone market then it will be perfect =)

cool, this is the first time i ever saw any updates for an application smile.gif

I have one question, when typing in the search box for POI in Papago, what are those random keys appearing in the middle of the screen? they don't seem to do anything?

Did papago just raised their price back to 29.90 for pro version? I just bought it for 19.90 like 1 week ago, so lucky! smile.gif

the only complain for papago is cannot input/output gps coordinate or send location to friend.. if they add it then perfect liao..

hi guys, my papago used to be working fine but recently i only noticed that sometimes there's no voice navigation even though i didn't change anything in the settings.. but sometimes have.. anyone experiencing similar problem?

last time when open the papago, it will say 'searching satellite', then 'satellite search complete' but now also cannot hear that voice liao..

wow seems that alot of people vote for Tomtom in the poll... so expensive also so many people buy?

btw the only complain i have for papago is the 'car' flies out of the roads all the time... kinda annoying...

like everything seems ok, navigating around... then suddenly see my car fly out of the road kinda stupid... lol

BTW, I have yet to hear any audio instructions from my PPG! It does not bother me too much as I don't rely on audio but am wondering all the same what gives!


Hmm.. i have the same issue wor! It used to have audio instructions (voice navigation) before.. but I think after the last update, it doesn't have audio anymore! I wonder if everyone experience this in the latest version?

Thanks..

but neither works.

both kept searching or gps....
pls help.

lol, you got china made 3gs ah? only 16mb happy.gif

jokes aside.. hmm did you try it outdoors? got try using the google maps application in your 3gs? can it lock down your location? If cannot your unit is probably faulty..

lets hear what other forumers have to say.

Is there a way to input coordinate in Tomtom? can't seem to find the function... or is it not possible?

Btw Tomtom interface is much better than Papago!! If they update the map then perfect liao =)
though I think the map is already quite ok for me, since my area which is quite new also got show up smile.gif why do you guys keep saying the map not updated?

Thanks!

tomtom also has the problem of car flying out of the road... like papago..

i wonder if the iphone's gps chip itself is not that good compare to nokia's.. or is it garmin software more reliable?

guys, since there is no free gps app, can you all Gurus help to list all all best valued GPS app that is available, and the price also? thanks, i'm a noob here, thanks again.

I recommend Papago it is the most affordable one and it has the most updated map. Junction view is a plus too smile.gif


Added on May 18, 2010, 11:39 amDoes anyone know which gps software is able to track all the roads your driven before? Like the one saw in garmin.. Really miss that feature.. Or do we need another standalone app for that? I dun mind even if it's not free app. Thanks!

I think I asked this before but got no answer... are we able to enter coordinate directly in Tomtom? I know Papago not able to do that..

Also what's the best app to track your route using GPS? Like the one in Garmin?

Thanks!!
